Sullivan might hit man on the neck
and develop cancer for him. A long
continued sore throat, breathing bad
| air for long time, anything irritating
the throat, might develop cancer that
| was trying to come into existence.
| There is a theory that cancer is heredi-
tary, but the hereditary line is not
strongly marked. Hereditament in it
cannot be traced to any certainty.
Cancers are not common. There are
many throat troubles not caneerous
that are very common snd annoying.
The throat is affected by the climate
and atmosphere. Bad air will cause
continuous throat irritation. The bad
air in some Of the public buildings here
makes many Threats suffer, and might
remotely assist the development of
cancer. The Bureau OF Engraving and
Printing and the printing Office are
frightful on the Threats of those en-
ployed IN them"
In 1882 DR.. Mackenzie, the Crown
Princes surgeon, was the guest of Dr..
DR.. Carroll Morgan in this city. The
doctor has an excellent photograph Of
him, as well as photographs of some Of
the famous German doctors who ha e
been associated with him in the treat

!" You may depend upon it that if DR..
Mackenzie has decided that nothing is
to be gained by al operation on the
Princes throat he knows what he is
talking about and the Prince is done
for. DR.. Mackenzie is COOL keen, in
telletual and ambitious. If there was
anything to be done he would not
hesitate to do it. l can see him now,
among those excitable German
doctors, cool Anglo-Saxon, examin-
ing the Crown Princes throat as he
would yours or mine, or the throat of
q car-driYer, if he had him in charge.
He has perfect elf-possessiOn and
great skill. He is never "rattled -,
Look at his picture; you see GOODNESS
and keen intellect. He can we'll stand
up against the jealousy of the Germans
He will not come out as poor
DR.. Douglass Gid lii the Grant
case. He will not sacrifice as
much as Douglass did. DR.. Douglass
sacrificed his practice and his health.
Col. Fred Grant said he was robbIng
the estate when he put IL bill for Sl0,-
900. He gave up practice of $l8 600 a
year for General Grant, and the last
heard of him he was embarrassed
financially. He is making barely
enough to live on. The attention he
gave 10 that case and the anxiety it |
caused him broke his health down His |
practice and everything went to pieces. |
People seldom appreciate the anxiety a |
doctor feels for his patient. Mackenzie |
will not let this happen to him. TIE !

"a cancer kills sometimes by eating
into blood vessel, By smothering or
starving the patient, or by attacking the
whole system. A man [ operated on
